The New Sevtec Fan-Tastic Sev
|
|
The new Fan-Tastic sev is the result of combining the best features
of craft built by Sevtec in over 3 decades of engineering expertise and
experience. It is sold completely built and ready to run, by Sevtec.
Gone long ago on Sevtec sevs is the noisy, cantankerous, fuel
guzzling two stroke engine normally used on surface skimmers. The brake system
is further improved, making Fan-Tastic maneuverability in stopping, turning, and reversing
direction, well, fantastic. A 25hp mild mannered four cycle engine
is used to give just as much or more performance as hovercraft with two or more times
as much power.
